Koeman says Man United's only bid for Schneiderlin was rejected two weeks ago

The Southampton boss said that since rejecting a bid from United two weeks ago, there have been no further bids.

According to ESPN general editor Alex Shaw, the Dutchman said: "Two weeks ago we had a bid from Manchester United and it wasn't enough. There have been no more bids.

"I had a meeting with Morgan. We will see what happens in the next few days. Numbers aren't my business, it's the club's."

Koeman also claimed that the French midfielder is ill and not with the rest of the Saints squad the moment.

WANTED MAN: Schneiderlin [GETTY]

Schneiderlin has been linked with a move away from St Mary's since last summer, infamously tweeting in July 2014 "6 years of an amazing journey #saintsfc DESTROYED in 1 hour !!!" after it appeared his club had prevented him moving on.

Tottenham and Arsenal have both been credited with an interested in the 25-year-old who joined Southampton from Strasbourg in 2008.

Recent reports have indicated that United were closing in on their target, with ex-Red Devils star Mark Bosnich claiming the deal is done and former France boss Raymond Domenech urging the Frenchman to complete the move.

But Koeman's words make it appear a deal is still some way away, even if it is still on the cards.
